In week four both me and Ravinder completed our paperwork. We were hoping to film during this week but unfortunately we couldn't start the filming as we didn't finish the paperwork call sheets because we couldn't get a hold of our actors. once i finally got in contact with Kulsoom and Ama and Sujeeth (the piano player) we could start filming just in time for our school half term. The half term would allow both me and Ravinder to film the majority of our music video but in our case we couldn't film the first two verses as one verse was to be filmed in our schools recording studio and another scene to be recorded in "Ash Grove Pub".
The set backs that we had was we couldn't film during the start of the week as we didn't complete the paper work to over come this i completed the paper work in lesson time and on the Thursday we started to film one day behind schedule.
In this week we worked on our paperwork we also finally got through to Harvester and the mangers said "we have to talk to human resources" once we spoke to the Harvester human resource team they allowed us to film on one day and one day only we decided that the day would be on Friday as our actors Kulsoom and Ama had to go work and were busy. In this week we also went over out shooting script again to see if their were any other ideas we could have if harvester was busy on that Friday. For a back up plan we decided to re visit the park as we would have a cold ending with the homosexual couple on the bench. The initial plan was Kulsoom and Ama enter the video by sitting on that same bench as it ends on and ravinder will come in by a foot ball being kicked near the bench and Kulsoom gives him the ball. However when Kulsoom leaves she forgets her phone and Ravinder chases after her.(this is our back up plan)
The role that i would be doing during the production of my music video will be Editor and Director/ Producer. My partner Ravinder will be the camera man and the director /producer we decided this because Ravinder has past experience with cameras But one of the main reasons we both decided that Ravinder will be the camera man because he can get a good shot anytime and he has had two years of media as being a camera man . I have chosen to be the editor because i have past experience with Final cut pro and the chorus of our music video will be kinetic typography.
at the moment i am working on the lyrics that will be the screen the idea is only the key words will be on the screen. (currently i am learning on how to do kinetic typography in my free time as the project is about learning new skills)
At the moment i have started the first line of the chorus and i am still working on the other lines the kinetic typography should be done by march the 1st 2014
I have to make sure that:
My partner Ravinder has a fully functional copy of the kinetic typography
I have to make sure that the video is working well and is synced up with the lyrics
I have to make sure to tell Ravinder if we need more shots filmed if the original shot does not work well with the video
As director i have to make sure that the cast are focused on the project when filming
Keep everything organised
I as have to make sure that we have the right shots and to keep a day free when editing if we need to re-film
Most of all i have to make sure that we get the right shot and to get the cast in the right position when filming
I will be the most suitable director both me and Ravinder decided that we would use my idea for the music video as the idea contradicts normal videos that have relationship with in the music video and we simply have picked this idea because its unique. I have also to be editor because of the past experiences i have with final cut and that i own After effects for the kinetic typography
In week
three both me and ravinder went over our shooting script and changed a few
elements to it for example we changed the first few shots to a cold opining and
we also ended the shooting script by ending the video with a cold ending and
fading away in to the credits. After we finished he
shooting script we started fill out the paper work to film the music video we
decided to split the work equally I did the calling sheets and ravinder did the
risk assessment and we both did the production calendar as we had to talk about
when you could not film because we both have jobs. The production schedule fits
in well because both e and ravinder work on Saturday, Sunday but I work on Monday
and he has to look after his younger brother on Mondays so the schedule worked
out well for us because we have the week days to film on in the half term
holiday and we also have time in school to record the chorus so I can start to
make the kinetic typography. Out plans for our following week is to hand in all
the paperwork and start filming the recording studio scene and the chorus and I
have to start the typography
During the second week of production me and my partner Ravinder both did the shot types for our shooting script that we would be following during the whole production time. Doing the shot types we also decided to do the type of angles we wanted with in the shots. We first decided on making our first 25 shot for last Monday and finished the 50 by the following Wednesday. We then got feedback on the Shots from our teacher and then added the feedback improvements in to the shots we had already done. Then over the weekend both me and Ravinder went on Skype and completed the rest of the shots up 75 which was needed by our lesson on Monday, From our teacher which is going to be evaluating today by our teacher we will get to finish the shot up to 100 in lesson When getting feedback. Once we go our feedback we relised that that the shooting script did not have many problems as we thought it would have. We found some of the shot types and angles to be difficult to portray on the camera as they would be repetitive in a scene and to complicated to show the story
